ENSINO JURÍDICO NO IMPÉRIO: A origem das Faculdades de Direito no Brasil na Assembleia Constituinte de 1823

Abstract

Legal education in Brazil began during the Imperial period with the establishment of the first Law Schools in São Paulo and Olinda. These institutions came to play a central role in the education of Brazil's political and administrative elites. However, the consolidation of legal education during the Empire did not occur in a linear or peaceful manner, as it was marked by disputes among different educational projects, ideological conflicts, and successive legislative reforms.
